The week has gone by fairly quickly. I walked every morning for 30-40 minutes with a dedicated group of men and women, John joined us once. We had a large breakfast every morning, a carry-in dinner one night and the closing dinner on Friday evening.
We changed some more of our lights to LED bulbs, got the coach washed, and rode our bikes around the town. On our bike ride we found a meat processor and got some good steaks and pork chops. John visited with other vendors while I took in the craft show and craft sales one day and a fashion show presented by two local shops on another afternoon. They had some very cute clothes! Thursday night we were entertained by a Southern gospel/blue grass band from Ohio. They were pretty good.
One of the vendors at the show does total RV renovations from floors to furniture to walls to exterior painting. For awhile now we have been unhappy with our floor as it scratches very easily and leaves white specks where the paint rubs off. On Friday we decided that we were going to get a better quality tile floor and while we were at it replace the carpeting. And since the floor will be a different color and I have always wanted under-mounted sinks in this coach, we opted to replace all counter tops with Corian, under-mounted sinks in kitchen and bathroom and an under-mounted stove so that I will have one smooth counter top giving me much more work space in the kitchen. This vendor, MasterTech RV Services in Elkhart IN, was able to get us on his schedule August 18th which means we have no home on the road for 2-3 weeks so we will be traveling home to Sedalia in August! John feels like he has gone insane - why would anyone want to be in Missouri in August?! We will leave most of our “stuff” in the RV while it is being renovated and go back in early September to drive our RV home.
Immediately following the closing dinner, we loaded up and left Escanaba, beating the crowded Saturday morning rush. We only drove for about an hour and stopped in Iron Mountain where we found a nice empty parking lot in which to spend the night.
